Damaged graves and racist graffiti have been found in the Palestinian village of Awarta in the northern West Bank after a Jewish group visited the area.

Palestinians told an Israeli rights group they saw Jewish pilgrims and Israeli soldiers in the area which is also a Jewish burial site, on Tuesday.

The Israeli military has not yet responded to the incident.

On Tuesday 10 people from a nearby settlement were arrested and questioned over an arson attack on a mosque.

At least two tombstones were damaged in the cemetery outside the village, and food and rubbish were left on graves.

In the village, offensive slogans about Arabs were found scrawled in Hebrew, English and Russian.

Bavafa- I agree

I think that "other atrocities in the world" should not go unchallenged either.  So, can you please tell us why we have never seen a posting from you on this atrocity, and why you are leaving it "unchallenged"?

And I would agree that we need to pay attention to our own house first and for most, but that does not mean other atrocities in the world should go unchallenged.

I just wanted to make the point that we should not wait for others to change before we change ourselves for the better. You know the saying - "People in glasshouses do not throw stones". We should clean up our own house first and concentrate on that. Then we should point the finger. Thank you for your reply, I really appreciate what you said.

Exactly my point, that IRI and the Zionist regime are the two

by Bavafa on Thu Jan 21, 2010 10:36 AM PST

face of the same coin.

Both are despicable fascist regime, one hell bent to destroy its own citizen and the other hell bent to destroy the neigbors.

How many of the members of the fellowship of reesh-o pashm

by Cost-of-Progress on Thu Jan 21, 2010 08:39 AM PST

care that in Iran, our most sacred archeological sites are being wasted away through neglect and deliberate act of disregard?

Or, is it that the IRI is planning to "build more historical ruins" of their own?
